Patchwork Harrington

For once, words fail me!  I'm beginning to think the original is a Stephen Bayley-style 'design classic'.

I'm not sure what you're referring to here AFS?

Re: Patchwork Harrington

Sorry, Woof, I should have said: item/s being sold on Ebay.  Baracuta horrors.

Re: Patchwork Harrington

There’s a patchwork G9 on the Baracuta site. Hideous. And over a grand.

Then there’s the matching trousers…..

Re: Patchwork Harrington

I'm struggling to decide which I dislike more: the idea of a patchwork G9 or the price.


some sort of banal legitimacy

Re: Patchwork Harrington

Have they done camo yet?  Someone on Ebay was auctioning what I think was a 'sample' which looked slightly busy to me but would probably appeal to the Merc-type shopper who has lost his bearings on the way to Chiltern Street.  Perhaps, as a replacement for Covid Marshals, we should have cardboard cut-outs of Paul Weller pointing in the right direction.

Re: Patchwork Harrington

Let's face facts, patchwork almost anything is generally a mistake.

In a Hi-Viz G9 maybe.

Paul Weller in one of his JS 'fair isle jumpers' should be sufficient for him to stand out

Re: Patchwork Harrington

The patchwork RL tartan shirts were something to behold. And not in a good way. Well dodgy doesn't begin to describe them. I don't do 'fun' shirts.

Patchwork quilts make me think of institutions, prisons, mental hospitals.

Re: Patchwork Harrington

And the Essex artist Grayson Perry has tried his hand at patchwork . He is someone I feel I should like but I just can't get to grips with his work.

Re: Patchwork Harrington

You can never have too much patchwork.


Is that a popped collar or are you just happy to see me?

Re: Patchwork Harrington

Very much a question of when and where.  I seem to recall a shirt.  Very vaguely.  I often have to look over old threads on here to remind me what I once owned.  The shirt evidently didn't work.  No-one in the UK posting on this forum would have that patchwork Baracuta as a free gift for turning over the compost heap.  I'd put money on it.  They just wouldn't use it as a burial shroud.  No, no, no. 
In the United States, somewhere around Martha's Vineyard, with no questions asked, maybe.  I wouldn't really know.

Re: Patchwork Harrington

Now Baracuta have 'reworked' the G9 and produced a paisley Harrington with the Frazer tartan lining. Collaboration with Needles a Japanese company. Oh dear.

Re: Patchwork Harrington

There's also a very nasty, very expensive Ralphie cardigan being offered on Ebay.  Wouldn't have it as a gift for the cats basket.
